THE UNDENIABLE CLUES. Throughout the ship we found evidence of electronic surveillance equipment. One room, located below and behind the bridge was a communications centre. Desks packed with electronic gauges, dials, knobs and switches-desks for 6 -10 personnel. The switches were all labelled in Russian-some examples Aappear in th e book with their translations. The word TYRE has 3 meanings in Russia- a car tyre, a surgical splint and an electric buss-or distribution board sometimes known as a buzz bar. The battery room contained over 200 batteries in 4 sections each with a schematic at each end. The cables traced back into the communications room. The HT lead running ashore was armoured and multi cored-leading to a solid base- on the island-no doubt for a fixed array. The Comms mast had huge multcore cables running through it-far more than a coastal vessel or a trawler would need.Several directional finding antenna were also located close by.
